After learning Hazel's address in Aminia, Christian had taken to waiting outside her apartment building. Hazel used to complain that he never understood romance or how to show affection.
So this once untouchable CEO of the Blake Group, this renowned doctor and master physician,
began clumsily learning how to win her over.
Each day he appeared at her door with a different bouquet of flowers and handmade her favorite snacks.
During her training sessions, he'd wait by the practice track like a devoted fan, just to be closer to her.
"Christian, will you stop following me?" Hazel finally asked one afternoon, clearly fed up.
She crossed her arms and glared at him. "We're done. I don't go back to old flames."
To her surprise, Christian smiled, undeterred. His tone was gentle yet stubborn.
